A little history of state income tax in Texas after you see the Abbott commercial. Spoiler alert: Abbott has nothing to do with the fact we donāt have state income tax and it was added to the state constitution by *cough* Ann Richards. The lying is unreal this year.
Can we all agree that Tennessee is now responsible for taking care of this woman for the rest of her life, and if she wakes up, they need to let her go and set her up for a new life?
The failed execution of Christa Pike, which one death penalty expert described as unprecedented, led Republican Gov. Bill Lee to order a review, calling what happened ādeeply disturbingā on Thursday and indefinitely postponing Pikeās execution and another one that had been scheduled for this year.

The reports about the events at Cornellāand the lack of accountability for the perpetratorsāare sickening. So is the victim blaming in response.
Victim blaming: āIf you donāt want to be raped, donāt go to a frat party.ā
Responsibility: Donāt. Rape. Women.
The right focus is not on teaching girls and women to avoid harm. Itās on raising boys and men who donāt commit it in the first place.

He's no older than 25 yrs old. He has no public finance or state government experience. He's running Texas' comptroller office under Don Huffines overseeing a 300B state budget. And he's making more than 300K to do it.

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad.

Austin ISD sends more property tax dollars to the state than the next 6 highest districts combined.
Compare the $771M AISD sent back to the state last year with the $887M budget just approved for next year.
Add failing schools to the mix and it's really a raw deal for Austin.

Strong Austin American Statesman Editorial against State takeover of our Austin public schools. Any state corrective action for 2 of 114 schools failing to meet an arbitrary State standard should be directed at those 2, not at undermining AISD independence and thwarting the progress already underway across the district in strengthening our local schools. What hasnāt worked with State takeover of Houston ISD will not help Austin ISD.
